Hi Beth, I will say that for being 77 1/2 years old my heart is in good shape.  Had all of the tests 6 months ago and doing find.  And being on Gleevec for almost 17 years I'm find.
Thank you, greenie In a message dated 12/14/2016 11:20:41 AM Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:  Dear Greenie, Another thought...please make sure, this is the Jewish mom in me to be sure.....that your heart is working well...sometimes we blame everything on our chemo's...if it's a new symptom, and you have been on a med for a long time, it could be something else that is causing  symptoms...are you short of breath when you walk up stairs, tire more easily when you take a long walk? Have you had a stress test anytime??? or recently???  Remember, the blow to you when you have the kind of loss you have sustained is felt not just emotionally, but in the body as well..it is not uncommon to have health issues post such a trauma.... I know you have an amazing spirit.... just worried about you.. Take good care!

The other item is I'm retaining water in my feet and lower legs.  Had some Polish sausage on Friday night and within 2 to 3 hours my feet, ankles and calves blew up like the Pillsbury Doughboy so no salt for me.  Grace dose not use saw and when we go out for dinner I tell them NO SALT on anything but the sausage caught me by surprise. So Marty if you read this email me back or anyone and tell me what my options are because I am lost on what to do..  Have not heard from Doctor yet because she probably hasn't received a fax yet from Quest.  Otherwise I doing find.  Always get cramps that's been from day one when I started Gleevec the first week in Jan 2000.  WBC is 4.7 and platelet court is 202 and RBC is 3.61 and it's been low ever since i started Gleevec.  So other then that I want everyone to drive safe and have a Happy Holiday and a Happy New Year.
